About #NMCFAlumniConnect

For over 30 years we have worked with purpose. NMCF is an organisation that is committed and strives to change the way society treats its children and youth. Driven by his love for children and a desire to end their suffering, former President Nelson Mandela established the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund by donating a third of his salary throughout his term in office to the formation of the Fund.

The Fund was officially opened in1995 and from 1996 to 1998, the Fund successfully mobilized over R36 million to fund over 780 projects, at an average of R40, 000 per project. Grounded in the legacy of its founder, the Fund initially operated as a grant-making organization promoting a humanitarian response to the plight of South Africa ‘s children and youth.

Alumni Bursary Fund

NMCF young alumni would love to advance in their respective careers but struggle to secure funding to pursue their studies or face other extenuating circumstances that hinder their progress in education. In true Madiba style we would like to encourage our alumni community to support learners and university students to help realise their dream by donating towards the NMCF bursary fund. "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." Nelson Mandela
